I just can’t with these people
:-) He took a discount because he F-ed around and found out. Cincinnati was most likely his best offer. He wasn’t taking any discount if he didn’t have to. [Reply]

I used to eat that a lot back in college and right after. Just used regular Hormel/Wolf chili out of a can most of the time. Hit it with a generous dose of yellow mustard and a couple tablespoons of Frank's Red Hot to balance all the savoriness. Yumm. Probably would give me a heart attack now. And/or cause the mother of all constipation episodes. [Reply]

I think this is about right. We're either getting cheaper or better, probably not both. But we might get cheaper and roughly equivalent in pass protection/worse in run blocking. If that's how it shakes out then it's probably a win.Right now, before JT has played at LT, it's a better deal for the Bengals [Reply]

After Tunsil extended with the Texans, we got cheaper. Taylor is signed for 4 years at below market. We need him to perform at a high level, wherever.
OBJ's contract with the Bungles is falling fast. [Reply]

Below market? If he plays RT he's the highest paid RT in the game. If he plays LT he's 4th. That aint below market, and was there anyone pegging him as one of the highest paid tackles in the NFL prior to the deal? We need him to perform at a high level, period. [Reply]
Poor bastard in here defending skyline chili. You’re living inside of a butthole and the signature food is cinnamon chili with cheddar cheese on spaghetti. What a depressing place [Reply]

I'm thinking 0-16 and they're so bad along the way, the NFL won't allow them to play the 17th game for fear of damaging the integrity of The Shield too much. [Reply]
